NO22SE 5 c. 26 22
See also NO12SW 210.
A dugout canoe was found in the River Tay, very near the site of another similar canoe (NO22SE 4) but some six years previously, ie c.1889. It was not in such good preservation as the latter.

Not in Dundee Museum. No further information.
Visited by OS (RDL) 12 June 1964.
About 1869 a logboat was found in the estuarine sandbank known as the Habbiebank in the inner estuary of the River Tay about 230 yards (250m) from the Perthshire shore and 'near to' the findspot of NO22SE 4. No detailed record was made at the time, and there are apparently no surviving remains of the boat which was 'not in such good preservation' as that discovered subsequently.
